Editing Daggit

[[File:Muffit1.jpg|thumb|right|The original Muffit, a daggit, runs with Boxey on Caprica during the Cylon sneak attack {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.]]
A '''daggit''' is a [[Wikipedia:Dog|canine]]-like animal used as a domesticated pet, watch animal, or tracker. No daggits survive the [[Battle of Cimtar|Cylon holocaust]].

{{TOS|Boxey}} loses his daggit, [[Muffit]], to the destruction on [[The Twelve Colonies of Man#Caprica|Caprica]].

== Drone Facsimile ==
A robotic [[drone]] counterpart similar in appearance to a daggit named [[Muffit#The "Muffit II"|Muffit II]] is built by Dr. [[Wilker]] and presented to Boxey {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.

Like a real daggit, the new Muffit proves its bravery and dedication to protecting humans during a dangerous fire aboard ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' {{OS|Fire in Space}}.

[[File:G80 - GDE1 - Dillon and Daggits.jpg|thumb|[[Dillon]] cautions the kids to be careful not to play with the daggits too fervently, for the daggits may "singe their circuits" {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I}}.]]
During the 30 yahren journey to [[Earth (1980)|Earth]], multiple drone daggits are built and find their way throughout the [[Galactican Fleet]]. After discovering Earth, Lieutenant [[Dillon]] happens across children playing with a pair of mechanical daggits aboard the freighter that [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] and Dillon reside upon {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I}}.

=== Tie-in Material Information ===
* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
: Since the mythical days of humanity on the planet [[Kobol]], the Daggit has been man's friend and companion. A warm-blooded quadruped, related to such wild species as the Equellan lupus, the Daggit has been domesticated for thousands of yahren. Daggits were probably first used for hunting, but with the advance of civilization, they became beloved pets to humans. Each of the Colonies developed its own varieties of Daggits, so that by the time of the Final Destruction, over two thousand different breeds were officially recognized by the Intercolonial Kennel Association. <ref>{{cite_book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=33}}</ref>

==Notes==
* In the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-imagined series]], dogs are simply called dogs and, unlike the original series, a number of these pets (e.g. [[Jake (New Caprica)|Jake]]) survive the holocaust within {{RDM|the Fleet}}.
* The "daggit" Muffit would make an appearance in a Caprican children's book cover in ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]''.
